Ridley Scott's 1991 road trip movie Thelma & Louise, starring the magnificent Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, was a genre defining piece of cinematic history and this is the iconic 1966 Ford Thunderbird Convertible that featured in the movie.

1966 Ford Thunderbird Convertible from Thelma & Louise

One of many identical cars used in the filming of the movie, apparently this turquoise Thunderbird was used primarily for close-up shots and was obviously not the car that went over the Arizona desert cliff at the end of the movie.

What cliff and location was used for that fateful decision? I am from Arizona and would love to visit. Did a car actually go off the cliff as incinuated above, or was it fabricated? I am a "Louise" and have a "Thelma". We just drove my dad's old '82 dodge ram pickup from upstate N.Y. to Arizona that he gave to me. It had no working speedometer and no A/C. We adorned the truck w/ " Thelma and Louise ride again" and other fun items like vintage neckerchiefs blowing out our windows. We got the thumbs up often, lots of smiles and honks. An unforgettable journey.....
